To ensure that Mikami Hiroyu wouldn't forget her during his missions, Mirajane planned to give him her most precious possession the night before he left the guild.

Miraja had originally planned to give herself completely to Mikami Hiroyu only when she married him. After all, this was every girl's dream, and Miraja was no exception. However, due to the special circumstances, Miraja had to give herself to Mikami Hiroyu ahead of schedule.

That night, Mirajane, as usual, crawled into Mikami Hiroyu's bedsheets and hugged him.

"Mira, you..." Mikami Hiroyu was surprised by Mirajane's actions.

"Xiao hope, will you love me forever?" Mirajane asked, holding Yu Shenhaoyu in her arms.

"Fool, why would you ask that?"

"You just need to answer me!"

"As long as I live, I will love you, Mirajane."

"...As a reward for your answer, I..." Mirajane was very satisfied with Mikami Hiroyu's reply.

Before this night, Mikami Hiroyu was a boy, but now he has climbed the ladder of adulthood.

At the same time, Gaia and the others also learned about their younger brother's changes: "Our little brother has grown up!" they both exclaimed at the same time.

The next morning, Yu Shen Haoyu got up very early! If it weren't for the mission he had to complete, Yu Shen Haoyu would have loved to continue living like this with Mirajane. He originally wanted to sleep a little longer, but unfortunately, his sister Gaia and the others reminded him that it was time to leave. They said they would take care of his younger siblings and told him to focus on improving his strength outside.

After Gaia and the others reminded him, Yu Shenhaoyu blushed with embarrassment and protested to Gaia and the others, which ended with Gaia and the others apologizing.

After getting up, Yu Shenhao gently kissed Mirajane's forehead and said very tenderly, "Wait for me!" Then he left with his luggage.

As for Yu Shen Haoyu's mission list, he had already chosen his mission in the guild a few days ago and had been preparing for it.

After Mikami Hiroyu left with the luggage Mirajane had prepared for him, Mirajane opened his eyes and looked at the room where Mikami Hiroyu had left, saying, "I will always wait for you! I will wait until you come back!"

No one knew that Mikami Hiroyu's departure would last for seven years. During those seven years, Fairy Tail underwent significant changes.

Since Yu Shen Haoyu's destination was the Western Continent, and he didn't know when he would be able to reach it using any means of transportation, and given the lack of information about the Western Continent from the Eastern Continent, Yu Shen Haoyu ultimately decided to use the map Gaia and the others had given him and fly directly to the Western Continent.

As Yuuyu flew over the Fairy Tail guild, Makarov and Gildarts, who were actually drinking, looked up as if they understood something: "Yuuyu is gone!"

"I have faith in him! By the way, Gildarts, the S-class exam seems to be approaching again. Should we do this this time?"

"The S-level exam! Time really flies! I can't believe it's happening again this year!"

While Makarov and Gildarts were discussing the S-rank exam, they didn't realize that Yukino, who always arrived at the guild early, hadn't arrived yet today.

By the time Yukino was discovered to be missing, Mikami Hiroyu had already appeared on the land of the Western Continent.

However, after seeing the message Yukino left behind, everyone in the guild shook their heads speechlessly. Only Wendy seemed to have been hit hard: "How could I not have thought of that! How could I not have thought of that!"

Why was Wendy acting this way? It's because Yukino left this message in her room: "Guild members, please forgive my abrupt departure. By the time you find this message, I'll probably already be at the mission location with Nozomi. Please don't worry. I'll take good care of myself, and I'll try my best not to hold Nozomi back! And Mirajane, although you're ahead, Yukino won't give up. From now on, Yukino will take care of Nozomi! Oh, and tell Wendy I'm off! Haha."

Those who remained in the guild were unaware that a new round of challenges was about to unfold before them, and that the guild would lose yet another member in this challenge!

(Mirajae officially joins the harem!)

Chapter 291 The Twelve Shields of the Holy Guardian

When Li Xiaoxi arrived at the Western Continent, while looking for a map in his luggage, he noticed a strange sound coming from his backpack. Upon opening it, he found Yukino lying in his bag, fast asleep.

Li Xiaoxi touched her head speechlessly, then called out, "Yukino, wake up!"

"Hmm, Lady Nozomi, have we arrived?" Yukino woke up to Li Xiaoxi's voice.

"We're here, you..." Before Li Xiaoxi could finish speaking, Yukino's stomach protested.

After hearing her stomach growl, Yukino covered her stomach in embarrassment!

"Let's find somewhere to eat first!" Li Xiaoxi said, looking at Yukino who was clutching her stomach.

"yeah!".

Because Li Xiaoxi was worried that coming from another continent would attract attention, she didn't fly directly to the town at first. Instead, she hunted some wild game and, using her not-so-skilled grilling techniques, cooked their first meal on this continent.

Although the taste wasn't great, Yukino enjoyed it very much.

Li Xiaoxi looked at Yukino, who was actually eating, and said speechlessly, "How did you think of hiding it in my bag! And you even came out with me. Don't you know my mission this time is a bit dangerous?"

Faced with Li Xiaoxi's stern words, Yukino lowered her head shyly and said in a very low voice, "But I don't want to be separated from Xiaoxi-sama!"

Upon hearing Yukino's words, Li Xiaoxi swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

"Don't cause me any trouble!" In the end, Li Xiaoxi agreed with Yukino's decision to go along with her.

"I definitely won't cause any trouble for Lady Xiaoxi!" Yukino immediately promised after receiving Li Xiaoxi's approval.

Thus began Li Xiaoxi and Yukino's seven-year journey in the Western Continent. Little did they know how many major events would occur in the guild after they left FairyLaw!

---------------

Just as Li Xiaoxi flew to the Western Continent, some people already knew of his arrival.

In the kingdom, Brandish, a woman with emerald green bangs, a blue-purple cross on her head, white cross earrings, and dressed in a sexy brown-yellow dress with blue-purple feathers on the collar and hem, the emblem of the Erbares Empire etched on the outside of her right thigh, was listening to a report from her subordinate Marin Horo.

The report states that a fourteen-year-old child flew from the Eastern Continent, and according to the investigators, this person possesses considerable magical power.

Brandish, a rather easygoing and lazy person, replied listlessly after hearing Marlene Horo's report: "Isn't he just a kid from the Eastern Continent? Just call one of the Brandish team members to take care of him. Don't bother reporting something so trivial!"

Marlene Horo knew her captain's personality, so she wasn't surprised.

After waiting for Brandish's instructions, he bowed slightly and left.

The news of Li Xiaoxi, a newcomer from the Eastern Continent, quickly reached the ears of the Twelve Holy Shields of Spriggan in the Alvarez Empire. Some ignored it outright, while others treated it as a major threat. Thus, Li Xiaoxi's journey to the Western Continent began.

Li Xiaoxi looked at the people walking on the street. Every single one of them possessed considerable magical power. It could be said that there were practically no ordinary people; they were all mages who knew magic.

In the time that followed, Li Xiaoxi learned about the basic knowledge of the Western Continent.

There is only one kingdom on the entire Western Continent: the Alvares Empire. More importantly, this Alvares Empire is a super-magical military empire comprised of 730 guilds, far surpassing the strength of the Fiore Kingdom on the Eastern Continent. It's worth noting that the Eastern Continent, where the Fiore Kingdom is located, has approximately 500 magic guilds combined. Furthermore, the average mage of every guild on the Western Continent is stronger than any guild on the Eastern Continent.

The Eastern Continent has the Ten Wizard Saints as determined by the Council, while the Western Continent currently has 12 people whose strength is comparable to that of Ishgar (the people of the Western Continent refer to Ishgar as the strongest wizard in the Eastern Continent). These 12 people form the Twelve Shields to protect Emperor Spriggan, but Emperor Spriggan has never shown his face.

Li Xiaoxi also learned that the people of the Western Continent had once waged war against the Eastern Continent.

The Alvarez Empire's long-standing goal has been to obtain "Lumen - Starlight". Ten years ago, they launched an attack on Ishgar, but were ultimately forced to stop because they were intimidated by the powerful force displayed by the Magic Council - "Magical Spirit Power" (the "Fez" destroyed in the final chapter of Tartaros was originally a weapon of the Magic Council). Therefore, even such a large superpower of magic had to cease hostilities.

However, seeing the entire continent in a state of war preparedness, Li Xiaoxi couldn't help but feel worried for the Eastern Continent, while also being careful not to expose her and Yukino's identities as people from the Eastern Continent.

Li Xiaoxi also learned specific information about the Twelve Shields of the Holy Guard.

The Fallen Kingdom – Brandish. μ Magic: Magic that alters the size of all matter (enlargement, shrinking). One of the Twelve Shields, its magic is similar to enlarging or shrinking objects. It possesses its own team – the Brandish Team.

The Demon King – Eugast, magic used: unknown, familiar with thousands of spells, the eldest of the Twelve Shields of the Holy War, known as "Calamity" in Alvarez, familiar with thousands of spells.

Argil, the Desert King, is a user of sand magic and one of the Twelve Shields of the Holy Land. He is fierce, arrogant, boastful, and extremely warlike.

Celestial Serena, a mage possessing eight different elemental attributes of Dragon Slayer Magic, is one of the Twelve Shields of Ishgard. He is a humorous, middle-aged man. Originally the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings of Ishgard, he held a position at the pinnacle of Ishgard. Later, for unknown reasons, he joined the Alvarez Empire and became one of the Twelve Shields of Ishgard.

Chapter 292 Zeref

War Princess - Timalia, Magic: Time Magic, Receiving Divine Magic, One of the Twelve Shields of the Holy War, No one knows her magic, She is said to be a female knight, known as War Princess or War Maiden.

General Winter – Imber, Magic: Suspected ice magic, one of the Twelve Shields, possesses ice-type magic, advisor to the Emperor. Magic unknown.

The Judge—Val, magic: mechanical magic, exploiting weaknesses, one of the Twelve Shields, a mage who uses alchemy.

Neinhart, magic: memories of the dead, one of the Twelve Shields of the Holy War, led the army to attack the west along with War Princess and Valkyrie. He is a very unsociable person, and his specific situation is unknown. So far, he has only appeared as an outline.

Assassination genius – Jacob Recho, magic: spatial magic, one of the Twelve Shields, his magic specializes in assassination and invisibility. He is hailed as an assassination prodigy.

Bradman, the Grim Reaper, specializing in pyromancy, is one of the Twelve Shields of the Holy Land. Known as the Grim Reaper for his countless killings, he calls himself "the guide to the underworld."

Scarlet Despair – Irene Belserion, Magic: High-Rank Enhancement Magic, one of the Twelve Shields, known as the strongest woman, the only one among the Twelve Shields capable of rivaling the Magic King. A High-Rank Enhancement Mage, she can imbue any object around her with magic for her own use. She imbued two swords with personalities, creating two exceptionally powerful subordinates – Heine and Juliet. Irene and August are known as the "Twin Pillars of Alvarez," and she hails from Ishgar.

Larcade Dragneel, Magic: Unknown, Gender: Male, one of the most mysterious of the Twelve Shields.

Yukino now realized they had arrived at an extraordinary place, a place where there were practically no ordinary people, and where everyone was frighteningly powerful.

At the same time, Zeref holds a very high position in the Western Continent; it can be said that everyone in the Western Continent knows about Zeref.

In the Western Continent, Li Xiaoxi gained a more comprehensive understanding of the person who influenced this world—Jereff.

To resurrect his deceased brother, Zeref entered Mildian Magic Academy to study magic, where he displayed astonishing talent and was hailed as the greatest genius in the academy's history (the R-System and Eclipse were both completed during this period). However, touching upon the magic of life and death has been a taboo since ancient times, and the academy's professors warned Zeref that he must not violate this taboo or he would incur the wrath of the god Ankhseram. Ultimately, the academy demanded Zeref's expulsion and told him that his brother would never be resurrected. At that moment, a contradictory curse appeared upon Zeref, and when he came to his senses, everyone in the academy had perished as a result.

Zeref, later granted immortality due to a contradictory curse, was tormented by guilt for taking countless lives, yet also loathed the satisfaction he derived from having unlimited time for research. He remained trapped in a labyrinth of thoughts. Ultimately, Zeref wished for death and embarked on the greatest taboo in magic—creating life. He created countless demons, but none could kill him. With his last hope, Zeref used his brother's body to create the most powerful demon, Etherias (END), thus achieving both the creation of the strongest demon and the resurrection of his brother.

Zeref is a legendary figure in the magical world, the only strongest in the history of magic. His name is almost taboo to later generations. He is the progenitor of black magic, descended on an ancient continent, and elevated black magic to its extreme, creating countless black magic and demons that plunged the world into chaos. He possesses almost invincible power to destroy the world.

It existed 400 years ago. Zeref, a child prodigy, began researching the R-System after his younger brother's death. He was later cursed by the god Ankhseram, becoming immortal. He created the strongest demon, END, using his brother's body. However, Zeref's current whereabouts are unknown.

Four hundred years ago, dragons ruled the world, and humans were merely food for them. Later, the dragons split into two factions: one hoping for peace with humans, and the other viewing humans as ants and prey. War broke out. Dragons who were friendly with humans taught them dragon-slaying magic to fight alongside them. For reasons unknown, Zeref influenced a dragon slayer mage, giving him demonic features. Through relentless dragon slaying, this mage's teeth transformed into fangs, and dragon scales gradually grew on his body. While possessing dragon-like powers, he also gained dark wings, becoming the first human to transform into a dragon, the Dragon King "Acnologia." The Black Dragon's power far surpassed that of all dragons, slaughtering them all. Only a handful, including the Fire Dragon and the Sky Dragon, survived through secret techniques. The Black Dragon's power may have surpassed Zeref's, but even he could not kill the immortal Zeref.

By this time, Zeref had mastered dark magic, including the "Curse of Paradox," the dark magic "Death Hunt." The essence of this magic is quite tragic: the more one cherishes life, the stronger the dark power becomes. Zeref cherished life more than anyone else and was kinder than anyone else, so the dark power was stronger than anyone else's, causing any life that came near to be taken away. Helpless, Zeref began to create demons to avoid harming others, creating beings that could end his immortality. In the end, although he created incredibly powerful demons, none of them could kill him except for the strongest demon, "END." And "END," for unknown reasons, had his demonic power resealed back into the book, leaving only his body and all his memories. He was later adopted by a dragon.

Helpless, Zeref could only wander alone due to the influence of dark magic. He was unable to approach any living being and thus wandered for 300 years. During this time, the demon, in search of a master and driven by its own destructive desires, caused immense destruction to the world. Zeref's worshippers, arrogantly believing him to be the embodiment of destruction, also committed countless atrocities, thus earning Zeref his infamous reputation.

Meanwhile, those demons have now established their own guild—Tartaros.

Tartaros is one of the three major dark guilds and the strongest of them. Its members are all abandoned demons from the Book of Zeref, and they use incantations that are different from magic.

The members of Tartaros are all demons from the Book of Zeref, collectively known as Etelias, and they wield spells that are difficult for magic to counter. Tartaros has many disciples, among whom the main fighting force (cadres) is known as the Nine Demon Gates.

The nominal leader of the Underworld is END, but he is also the actual leader and founder of the Underworld. He is the master of the Core of Hell, and having inadvertently obtained the Book of END, he uses END's name to rule the demons and establish the Underworld.

Chapter 293 Brandish

After hearing such detailed information about Zeref, Li Xiaoxi had a feeling that in the near future, he would meet Zeref, the chosen one of this world, and then make a choice for the fate of this world.

However, that's all for the future. Right now, Li Xiaoxi and Yukino are facing a very important problem: a dozen or so mages dressed in the same clothes have surrounded them and, after confirming that they haven't mistaken them for someone else, have launched an attack on Li Xiaoxi and Yukino.

Fortunately, Li Xiaoxi had already sensed something was wrong and struck first before the opposing forces could launch their attack. She used a Thehunder, and several bolts of lightning struck the target. Although it was a small matter, it showed that they had been exposed.

"Yukino, the days ahead are going to be tough!" Li Xiaoxi said to Yukino with a very serious expression, looking at the person lying in front of her wearing the same clothes.

"Lady Nozomi, I'm prepared!" Yukino said firmly.

"Lady Brandish, we've lost contact with the squad we sent out to eliminate the intruders! It seems..." Marlene Horo immediately reported to her superior after receiving the news.

"It seems that the intruder is quite strong. Marlene Hollo has sent three squads this time, and I want to see just how strong that intruder really is!" Brandish gave his orders to his subordinates without even thinking.

“Yes!” Marlene Hollo knew that this was her superior, Brandish, and, fearing trouble, did not want to deal with these matters, so she did not pay much attention to it.

For the next six months, Li Xiaoxi battled against these teams. Initially, it was a team of twelve, then three, and then the number gradually increased. Sometimes, Li Xiaoxi would have Yukino participate, to give Yukino some practice.

And so, six months later, Li Xiaoxi used the "Fairy Law" technique to instantly kill hundreds of people who came to surround and kill him. This seemed to trigger a huge reaction, with even more people coming to hunt him down.

Fortunately, Li Xiaoxi's magic power can be replenished anytime, anywhere, so she is still able to deal with wave after wave of enemies.

But later, Li Xiaoxi realized something was wrong. Why were so many people trying to kill him after he used Fairy Law? And the enemies were gradually becoming stronger and more difficult to defeat. At first, Yukino could help, but slowly her strength became insufficient.

Little did Li Xiaoxi know, the problem lay in his use of Fairy Law. Fairy Law was a super-magic technique possessed only by members of Fairy Tail, but in the Western Continent, Fairy Tail was an enemy they had to defeat. Now, this enemy had come to their territory and loudly proclaimed himself the enemy. Who else would the people of the Western Continent attack if not him?

However, thanks to these people, Li Xiaoxi's strength was also rapidly increasing through constant battles. With each battle, Li Xiaoxi's magic power would significantly increase, and her overall strength would grow rapidly.

It can be said that before the members of the Nine Ghosts Gate and the Twelve Shields found Li Xiaoxi, the people who came to cause trouble for Li Xiaoxi were just monsters that could help her level up, and it didn't matter how many came.

In just two years, Li Xiaoxi's reputation spread throughout the Western Continent, making her a former mage with strength comparable to the Twelve Shields. As her fame grew, fewer and fewer people came to cause her trouble, but those who did were no longer to be underestimated.

Li Xiaoxi calmly observed the woman before her: a woman with emerald green bangs, a blue-purple cross on her head, white cross earrings, and blue-purple feathers on the collar and hem of her brown-yellow dress. The Alvarez Empire's emblem was etched on the outside of her right thigh. This woman was Brandish, one of the Twelve Holy Shields of the Alvarez Empire.

After Brantish's imperial army, the "Brantish Squad," was completely wiped out by Li Xiaoxi, he finally couldn't sit still any longer and, along with Marlene Horo, went to find Li Xiaoxi.

"So you're the intruder who wiped out my Brandish team in just two years! Not bad at all." Brandish's first impression of Li Xiaoxi was quite positive.

"So you are Brandish, one of the Twelve Aegis, who is known for having the power to destroy a nation?" After comparing the information with her own, Li Xiaoxi recognized Brandish's true identity.

"You are extremely rude! How dare you speak to Lord Brandish like that! You actually called him by his name! How dare you call Lord Brandish by his name!" Marlene Horror stepped forward and reprimanded Li Xiaoxi when she called him by his name.

"Lady Xiaoxi, it's her honor to be called by her name. Who do you think you are to dare lecture Lady Xiaoxi!" Yukino had felt immense pressure from Brandish after her appearance, but thanks to Li Xiaoxi's protection, this pressure had lessened considerably. Furthermore, Brandish was very beautiful, making Yukino wary of her.

Upon hearing Yukino's words, Marlene Horo angrily retorted, "It seems I need to teach you a lesson, or you'll really think we Western Continent have no experts left!"

"Where are the experts? I don't see any of those experts you mentioned, the ones who were instantly killed by Lady Nozomi's magic? To be honest, they're not really experts. They're just average in our Eastern Continent!" Yukino seemed to be natural enemies with the furious Marlene Horror, and neither of them would give in.

"Then I'll show you whether our Western Continent has any real experts!" After saying that, Marlene Hollo used her magic to attack Li Xiaoxi.

Marlene Hollo originally thought that her magic could defeat Li Xiaoxi and the others in one move, or at least severely cripple them.

However, Li Xiaoxi simply waved her hand at Marlene Hollo's magic, and it vanished as if it had never existed.

Upon seeing Li Xiaoxi's actions, Brandish, as her opponent, actually shouted "Not bad!" Marlene Hollo was initially surprised that Li Xiaoxi had so effortlessly erased her magic, but upon hearing her superior's "Not bad," she immediately glared fiercely at Brandish.
